Considering the first week of December is nearly over and
done with, Christmas shopping still hasn’t started. Buying for the females in
my family and friends are easy, however if in doubt, all what you need to do is
look at the 1001 gift guides on people’s blogs and YouTube channels. However
the age old question of what to buy the men in your life, well unless they ask
for something specific, I’m completely stumped. If you have the same problem as
me, read on..

Video Games

My brother, like many teenagers/early twenties adore
playing games on their Xbox, portable thingies or on the PC. They’re always
saving their money to buy the latest must-have adventure, so I thought that
would giving them money, this would be an ideal gift from me. And because I
don’t know Mario Kart from Final Fantasy, I opted for buying gift
vouchers on-line. This saves the uncomfortable “I’ve already got
this game” conversation.

Headphones

The trend has moved away from earbud headphones, to
something that wouldn’t look out of place on a helicopter pilot. The idea is that they need to be noise
cancelling, which sounds very appealing to me. There are hundreds to choose
from, with price tags ranging from too cheap to re-mortgage level. I opted for
two pairs headphones by
Creative, which are very affordable and stylish Lads wear them
constantly, while listening to music, watching movies or playing games. While
this does make communicating with them problematic, think of the peace and
quiet.

Watches

Watches are seen as a special gift signifying something
special. It’s never easy choosing between all the different designs but as the
men in my family are quite sporty, watches with chunky rubber straps, with
back-lit, digital displays, which I ordered from Watches 2U.com
are an ideal present.

Bikeability

For those who enjoy biking, there are some great
accessories available both practical and for fun. In order to provide a bit of
humour on the morning cycle to work, how about buying a set of stick-on dog ears for his helmet.
Trust me, everyone will love them. However if that’s not their cup of tea, how
about a new Yakkay cycle helmet,
which comes with a very cool hat cover.

Hopefully this post has helped to give you some ideas of
what to buy your loved ones and nearest and dearest this Christmas.
